Especially designed for families, this 2 week adventure
encompasses an 11 day safari into Kenya’s best known
game parks, followed by a few days on the Indian Ocean coast;
all at an easy going pace.
Day 1: Nairobi. Feed a giraffe at the Langatta Giraffe

then take a boat trip to see hippos up close. Watch monkeys
playing in the trees while enjoying afternoon tea.
Day 3: Kariandusi School Visit. Head into Kenya's
Rift Valley to see how local kids go to school. Peek into
classrooms and meet local students.
Day 4-5: Lake Nakuru. Get up early for a dawn game
drive, looking out for zebras, monkeys, antelopes, lions
and pink flamingos clustering around this beautiful lake.
Stay on a huge farm, where kids can help feed horses, calves
and chickens, and adults can take leisurely walks or just
chill out.
Day 6: Lake Victoria. Travel to enormous Lake Victoria,
Africa's largest lake and the source of the legendary Nile
River.

plains shelter big cats, wildebeest, zebras and gazelles.
Venture out to spot them in the early morning and late afternoon.
Camp in the park, falling asleep to its nocturnal sounds.

extinct volcano by 4WD with a local guide. Then meet Africa's
crocodiles, lizards, turtles and super-poisonous snakes

visit elephant-filled Tarangire National Park or flamingo-flocked

adders and mambas at Arusha Snake Park. Ride a camel to
local Masai villages to meet these red-robed cattle herders.
Day 12-13: Dar es Salaam. Welcome to Tanzania's tropical
coast. Stay beside gorgeous Kipepo Beach and laze by the

visit nearby villagers.
